Push Notification issues with 3rd Party Apps

I've noticed that "Push Notification" with 3rd party apps for me has been hit or miss. It seems they will work for awhile then then stop working and then after several hours push notifications will start working again.

This issue seems to occur with all of the 3rd party apps I use mainly Beejive, TextNow and the ESPN app for score updates. When Push notification stops working it is happening with all of the apps at the same time and not just one particular app.

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same type of issues with "Push" and if there is a resolution.

Sorry if this has already been a discussion on the forum.

My iPhone is a 16GB 3G version 3.1.2 and has NOT been unlocked or Jailbroken.

i have the same issue. i use Yahoo messenger, Nimbuzz and Fring for messagin and when i sign in and out of them apps, the push notification works for a while and then it stops!! i have iphone 3GS version 3.1.2, and also mine is not unlocked or jailbrocken. I would have gone n talked to apple store but there isnt any near where i live!

I found a thread in a forum and for some reason I guess either my wireless router or Comcast was blocking push notifications. Though I still don't know how DNS had anything to do with it since DNS is used to look up the IP Address of websites.

Once I changed the DNS IP Address to 8.8.8.8 which is Googles DNS server push notifications have worked perfectly ever since.
